VALPARAISO, Chile (Reuters) - Police tear gassed and hurled water from cannons at protesters in front of Chile's national Congress in Valparaiso on Tuesday after a Senate commission delayed a vote on a controversial fishing law that seeks to redistribute quotas between artisanal and industrial fishers.
At least one police officer was injured and several people were detained after protesters knocked down a gate surrounding the building, attempting to enter Congress before being repelled by tear gas, water cannons and baton-wielding police in riot gear.
